Bringing the crack since December 2003

The Magnificent Medieval Seven

A little under four pages from DEMON KNIGHTS 1, DC's new series about superheroes in the Dark Ages...

Madame Xanadu and "Jason o' th' Blood" arrive in the village of Little Spring, near the kingdom of Alba Sarum (fictional, natch). They're just in time to see Vandal Savage barging into an inn.

Also at the inn are two new characters, the inventor Al Jabr and the ball-busting Exoristos. The innkeep doesn't want to serve the former because he's brown, but the latter points out that he's willing to serve her even though she's ten times as foreign as Al Jabr.

Apparently, Paul Cornell's gone back to the Jack Kirby version of the Demon's voice, where he only rhymes during important moments, usually when he's delivering the coup de grace to some baddie.

So then the Questing Queen unleashes an army of knife-wielding dinosaurs on them.

Extras

Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.

Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
